My emotions are on a rollercoaster...

Post Reply New Topic

I wake up today to a friend on FB chat talking suicide again... Over something I said he misinterpreted as bad... Which made me felt horrible... But another friend of mine encouraged me to report him to the authorities to get help and I did... I hope he gets help...

Also, I got an email from the lady that admits people into the grad program, I sent her a quick email I had the application done...

Directly quoting the email she just sent me:

"That is fantastic! I should be able to review it next week and then I will be in touch about next steps.

I am really excited to hear more about your internship as well. I hope it is great. TSS is a neat organization.

Have a great weekend and I will be in touch again soon."

Sounds promising doesn't it?

Did you ask your social worker about Grad School and Section 8? That's very important.

The grad program is a residential program, you have to be housed on campus... And anyway I can't commute from Michigan to Idaho!! !

I'd have to tell my landlord and find someone else to live here... My yearly lease is over with and now I just have to give a 30-day notice to move.

Sorry. I didn't know the grad school was in Idaho.

Would you get a stipend and a place to live?

How long would the program be?

Both my remote internship and the grad program are based in the northern Rocky Mountain region... For example for the internship I've been doing a lot of reading about the Tetons/Yellowstone area... The grad program will be rocky mountain based... I'd probably end up finding permanent work in that area and leave Michigan!

Now I see your new post kraftie...

I'm getting scholarships from AmeriCorps to help... And being disabled, etc... They said I should qualify for even more money.

It's a one year residential grad program

Sounds cool to me!

An example where a "special interest" pays dividends

At the end of that one year, will you have a master's degree? This is an important question. If you get some sort of certificate, or if you have to stay longer before getting any degree, it might be kind of a trap.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's a good opportunity and frankly, it sounds very interesting and fun! I just think you should be clear on what the rewards to you will be.

Bea has a point there.....what would be the final result of this course?

Masters of Art in Environmental Education and Science Communication

This just might be good for the career of your choice.

I had to leave the gaming chat... Because the guy I accidentally offended started another chat and was bad talking me on it aparantly and another person in the group said I offended him on purpose... Which I didn't...

I can't handle stuff like that so I just left the group completely, if they are gonna think badly about me and shame me like that!

Yep. It doesn't make sense to hang around that group. Smart thing to do!

What kind of job will you be qualified for when you complete that program?

Teaching virtually is what I wanna do, would also get me jobs creatingesson plans, or at zoos/nature centers, etc...

What is wrong with this guy... A former member of his chat contacted me saying she was blocked for just trying to stand up for me... And he's telling people I'm a "creep" with no explanation of what I'm doing so creepy...

Sounds intentional. Might be group trolls.

Sometimes they might be ping-ponging, in which case be cautious about any person related to that group and particularly actively getting involved in their drama against others.

On another hand this person might just want friends and some bad events may unite people in the same position.

Careful with your boundaries around the girl and should be fine if she's respects you.
